Ji Yanyue’s case was temporarily suppressed.
But it was only temporary. The case was still in the Ministry of Justice, and the people in the Ministry of Justice did not send anyone to Ling Anbo's mansion. On the surface, it seemed that everything was calm. The lady of the Ji Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.
In fact, the nature of this case has changed. Someone is secretly investigating it, and in order to cover up their tracks, they have not been to Ling Anbo's mansion recently.
Yue Wenhan had seen the evidence and had asked Xiao Haitang to prove it before. He even found clothes in Ji Hanyue's room and compared them. They were indeed almost identical.
If you haven't seen it before, you can't have imitated such realistic clothes.
The appearance of such a piece of clothing is very likely related to Ji Yanyue, but Ling Anbo's mansion, as a close relative, said that it was impossible. Yue Wenhan asked the Ministry of Justice to suppress the case and investigate it secretly.
In cases like this where someone might have been abducted, it is best to conduct the case in secret. If it attracts attention, it will put the person involved in danger.
Yue Wenhan's suggestion is in line with the rules. Everyone is knowledgeable about the matter, so it would be better to investigate secretly.
This time the case was not suppressed but was secretly investigated and someone was assigned to handle it specifically.
After Yue Wenhan brought the news, Qu Moying felt relieved and breathed a deep breath. He always felt that his sister was not dead and was still alive.
The news from Yuejinge and what Xiao Haitang had said before made her even more certain.
She didn't ask for the next life, but only for this life. She only asked for her sister to live well in this life, and she only asked that Ji Youran said those words just to irritate her.
Her sister was so young and hadn't understood the world yet. She shouldn't have been implicated and lost her life so early.
"Miss, the Eastern Palace has sent someone over." Nanny Miao came in to report.
Qu Moying put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, raised his eyes calmly and asked: "Whose man?"
"It's Concubine Ji's person." said Nanny Miao.
"What's the purpose?" Qu Moying asked calmly, but his heart was moved.
"I heard that it was to ask for medicine." Nanny Miao had asked before.
"Let her in!" Qu Moying nodded slightly. She already understood what it meant.
Nanny Miao stepped back and soon led a few people in. The maid leading the way looked familiar, as she was someone close to Ji Youran.
"Your servant greets Fourth Miss Qu." The maid stepped forward and saluted respectfully, without the arrogance she had in the past when she followed Ji Youran to see Qu Moying.
The Qu Moying of today is not the Qu Moying of the past. She is about to marry into the British palace, and people dare not underestimate her.
The current Ji Youran is no longer the same Ji Youran as before. She was originally a concubine but was demoted to a concubine. Now that the principal wife is about to become the principal wife, it is really difficult to be optimistic about her.
Ji Youran was out of power, and the people around him also lost their power. They no longer dared to look up to others as they did before.
"What's the matter with your concubine?" Qu Moying asked, her watery eyes holding a hint of coldness.
"Reporting to Fourth Miss Qu, our concubine was injured before and has not recovered. I heard that the ancestors of Kangyang Hou Zhou family have a good medicine, which is said to be handed down from their ancestors, so I sent someone to inquire. Unexpectedly, the medicine fell into the hands of Fourth Miss Qu. Can I ask Fourth Miss Qu for some?"
The maid said with a smile.
"Our concubine said that if we get this medicine, we will give you a large sum of money as a reward!"
The maid stretched out her hand and waved to the maids behind her, and each of them came forward with a gift box in their hands.
The maid went forward and opened the gift boxes one by one, and the glittering jewels and precious stones made people's eyes light up.
"Fourth Miss, this is a thank you gift from our concubine. I only ask for the ointment that can remove scars.
I wonder if Miss Qu Si can give up her love."
The maid continued to beg with a smile.
Qu Moying looked back at Yuchun. Yuchun understood and went into the inner room to take out the ointment that Miss Zhou Er had given her and placed it on the table in front of Qu Moying.
"This ointment was given to me by Miss Zhou Er, but I don't know how effective it is." Qu Moying raised his eyes and said slowly.
The maid was stunned: "Miss Qu Si has never used it?"
Didn’t they say that Miss Qu Si had already used it and it was very effective, only using a little bit to get rid of the scars
"I haven't used it. It was already healed and there's nothing serious going on, so there's no need to use it." Qu Moying said calmly.
"Haven't you asked the imperial physician to see it?" the maid asked again.
Qu Moying didn't answer this time. Yu Chun stepped forward and answered, "Our young lady didn't use it, and naturally didn't ask the imperial physician to check it. This ointment was given to our young lady by Miss Zhou Er. When you concubines use it, you'd better make sure to seal it carefully. If there is anything wrong, don't blame our young lady."
"This...what could this be?" the maid asked with shaking hands, which made her a little panicked.
"We don't know either, but after all, this was given to us by someone else. Who knows what will happen? Some medicines may be good, while others may be bad if they are not suitable for the disease. It depends on where they are used." Yu Chun explained swiftly, reaching out to pick up the bottle of ointment and handing it to the maid, "Take a look at the seal on it."
It was sealed tightly and even had a seal on it. They were all very old and it was indeed the kind of medicine that had been passed down from ancestors for a long time.
"Since your concubine wants this medicine, don't look for our lady if you have any problems later. I have to make this clear in advance."
Yuchun said bluntly.
Maids are not much more noble than each other, and the current Concubine Ji is not the domineering Concubine Ji of the past.
"This... okay!" The maid said in embarrassment, feeling inexplicably panicked.
The way Qu Fu shirked responsibility made her feel insecure.
"Our young lady won't accept this gift. It was originally given to our young lady by Miss Zhou Er, just as a token of appreciation. If you want to give a gift, please give it to Miss Zhou Er!" Yu Chun said again.
After hearing what she said, the maid’s gift could indeed not be delivered.
Seeing Qu Moying waving at her, indicating that she could go down, the maid could only turn back helplessly.
The gift was not given away, but at least the ointment was obtained, and the queen will definitely be happy.
Yuchun sent the person to the gate of the courtyard, which was considered to be a respectable move for the concubine.
"Miss, is there any problem with this ointment?" Yuchun asked doubtfully as soon as she came back. Miss Zhou Er looked gentle and amiable, and this gift was originally given to her.
"I don't know!" Qu Moying shook his head.
"Then... there won't be any problems if we send it out like this, right?" Yu Chun was still worried. Although she had just spoken firmly, she actually had no idea.
Yu Dong couldn't help but reply, "Even if there is a problem, it has nothing to do with us. Didn't you just say that the ointment has not been opened and there is still a seal on it? If there is a problem, it is the Zhou Mansion that should be investigated. It has nothing to do with us."
"When Miss Zhou Er sent me off, she asked the imperial physician to take a look. If he did, the medicine would definitely be prescribed. At the time, I just felt it was unnecessary, so I didn't ask the imperial physician to identify it. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing. At least if something goes wrong, no one will blame me."
Qu Moying spoke thoughtfully.
Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes became darker. It wasn't that she thought Miss Zhou Er was too serious.
Diligent, but she still thought about it a little more.
To be on the safe side, I didn't open the ointment, and today, exactly what happened happened.
She had to feel that this matter was very strange.
It was indeed she who took the initiative to spread the news about the ointment, but it was also a question whether there was someone involved who interfered and eventually got involved with her.
She had tampered with it, but what about others? If no one else had done anything, Ji Youran would not have found her so quickly.
If you bring a gift, it's a sure thing.
When Miss Zhou Er gave me a gift, although she said it was handed down from her ancestors, she didn’t say it was the only one left. If it was really the last one, then the gift was too heavy, even heavier than the one from my grandmother…
"The ointment has not been used, and there is still a seal on it?" Ji Youran took the ointment in surprise, looked at the seal on it, and listened to the maid's report of what had just happened.
"Yes, I haven't used it, and I haven't asked the imperial physician to look at it." The maid hesitated and looked at Ji Youran's face. "The Qu family also said that if it doesn't work, don't blame them. After all, they haven't opened the ointment to look at it, and they don't know what the ingredients are in it."
These words made the maid feel inexplicably panicked. She told the whole story without hiding anything.
Ji Youran was stunned by this act of shifting the blame. She picked up the bottle of ointment in her hand and examined it carefully. Ji Youran no longer dared to disrespect the fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion.
Since she said so, how could she not feel uneasy
"Let the imperial physician take a look at the ointment. Use it if there's nothing wrong with it." Ji Youran turned his hand and listened to the ointment bottle. There was no longer any quarrel as before.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The maid nodded.
Ji Youran handed the bottle of ointment in his hand to the maid, thought for a moment and then reminded her: "Ask a few more imperial doctors to take a look. If the imperial doctors can't figure it out, ask a few more famous doctors to take a look."
She was really worried about this matter.
I always feel a little upset. I originally thought that Qu Moying had used it before, so there would be no problem if she used it again. If there were any problems, she could ask Qu Moying.
Since the medicine has been opened and used, it is possible that Qu Moying wanted to put something in it. If there is any problem, who else can he turn to if not her
But the ointment had not been opened yet, Qu Moying had never used it, and she could not be found if something happened. This situation made people panic for no reason.
"Yes, I understand." The maid was also very cautious. She felt that this matter should not be underestimated. She looked up at her master's stomach and knew that she should not use medicine casually at this time.
The maid left, and Ji Youran touched her belly with a smug smile on her face. So what if Liu Jingyu was going to marry in? The future eldest son would definitely be born in her belly.
For the sake of the unborn child, she had been burning incense to Ji Hanyue these past few days, every day. On the one hand, it was a reflection on her bad behavior during this period, and on the other hand, it was also an expression of her longing for Ji Hanyue.
Now that they are separated by the Yin and Yang, can't she, as her elder sister, go to worship them every day
The prince ignored her at first, and Ji Youran could only worship outside. Gradually, the prince seemed to relent, and Ji Youran went to the small Buddhist temple to worship.
She burned three sticks of incense every day, rain or shine, without interruption. She never went near the prince again and paid no attention to what was happening outside. She only burned three sticks of incense to pay tribute to her sister.
The prince seemed satisfied. Although he didn't see her, he would give her rewards from time to time.
Today the time is almost right. After touching her belly again, Ji Youran stood up and said, "Let's go to the small Buddhist temple!"
